The other two are the 108-style "Heaven-Turning Palm" and the "Silver Feather Arrow".

Back then, Lin Yuantu swept through the martial arts world. In addition to the Seventy-Two Styles of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, he also possessed two other unique skills: the One Hundred and Eight Styles of Heaven-Turning Palm and the Eighteen Silver Feather Arrows.

These two martial arts, along with the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, have been passed down.

The jewel-encrusted bow hanging in the room was a gift from Lin Zhennan to Lin Pingzhi last year, specifically for practicing with silver-feathered arrows.

According to his memory, Lin Pingzhi did learn the archery techniques of "Silver Feather Arrow," and even memorized the entire manual at Lin Zhennan's request.

As for his skill level? It's just so-so; Lin Pingzhi really doesn't have much talent in this area.

Lin Zhennan probably realized this too, so he spent most of his time having him practice the Seventy-Two Styles of Evil-Repelling Sword Technique and the One Hundred and Eight Styles of Heaven-Turning Palm.

The room was quite spacious. Li Mu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then practiced the Heaven-Turning Palm a few times. After thinking for a while, he practiced a few more moves. Gradually, he completed the entire Heaven-Turning Palm routine.

Next, based on his memory, Li Mu practiced while trying to understand the technique. By lunchtime, Li Mu had become completely familiar with the palm technique.

Lin Zhennan is currently very ambitious, and under his leadership, the Fuwei Escort Agency has been expanding rapidly. Last year, thanks to his father-in-law Wang Yuanba, the invincible Golden Saber of the Luoyang Golden Saber Sect, he bribed his way through the region, opening up trade routes in Henan. At the beginning of this year, the Henan branch of the Fuwei Escort Agency was established.

There was some trouble at the Guangxi branch a while ago, and Lin Zhennan and his wife went to resolve it. It's estimated that they won't be back for a while.

Currently, Li Mu is in charge of the entire Lin family.

Attended by maids and servants, Li Mu ate lunch, rested for a while, and then went to the martial arts training ground in the backyard to practice the Heaven-Turning Palm once again.

Li Mu himself had a solid foundation in martial arts, having dabbled in Xingyi, Tai Chi, Baguazhang, and Bajiquan. In particular, Xingyiquan, as the earliest style of boxing Li Mu studied, was extremely well mastered.

Although the world is different, the basic principles of martial arts are still universal. In addition, his extensive knowledge and ability to draw inferences from one instance to another have inevitably broadened his perspective considerably.

As he became more proficient in the 108-style Heaven-Turning Palm, he increasingly felt that Lin Pingzhi's version in his memory was naive and crude. Many moves were only practiced in form, without any understanding of the essence or the subtlety of exerting force.

To be fair, Li Mu believed that the 108-form Heaven-Turning Palm, if mastered, was actually a decent palm technique. The fact that it was passed down along with the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual suggests that it had its merits.

However, the practitioners were not skilled enough to bring out the full potential of the techniques. Not only Lin Pingzhi, but Lin Zhennan's skill level was also not very good.

He might be good at bluffing people normally, but if it really comes down to a fight, he might end up in trouble.

As Li Mu practiced, he also reflected on his movements, silently refining his boxing techniques. By evening, when he finished his practice, the entire set of boxing techniques had become much smoother and had taken on a different quality.

In the evening, back in his room with nothing to do, Li Mu began to ponder the Zheng Yang Gong. Being new to internal energy cultivation, Li Mu was much more cautious, unlike his approach to martial arts, where he would have criticized Lin Pingzhi's incorrect and immature practices. Being unfamiliar with this area, he could only proceed gradually, starting with the basics of breathing exercises and regulating his breath, step by step familiarizing himself with the cultivation process and system of internal energy.

Chapter 521 Cultivation

After sitting in meditation for two hours, feeling that he had practiced enough and that more practice would be counterproductive, Li Mu stopped, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Mu got up early, stood in a stance for a while, and continued to practice the Heaven-Turning Palm.

This palm technique is indeed exquisite. The more I practice it, the more I realize that Lin Pingzhi's training is naive, and Lin Zhennan's teaching is not very good either. Upon careful recollection, I realized that what he usually taught was to use a certain move to counter a certain move, and to use a certain move to receive a certain move.

How to apply force and control the timing of the moves? These are things that are taught less than what is taught in the traditional sense, and Lin Zhennan himself probably didn't have much in-depth research in this area.

After practicing all morning, having breakfast, and resting for a while, Li Mu continued practicing.

This time, Li Mu activated the learning card, which tripled his learning efficiency. The effect was indeed excellent, and he comprehended the Heaven-Turning Palm technique much faster.

Three days passed in this way. Each morning and afternoon, Li Mu used three hours of learning cards. Finally, his understanding of the Heaven-Turning Palm reached a bottleneck. After that, even with the learning cards, he could not feel any significant progress in practicing the Heaven-Turning Palm.

Li Mu knew that his martial arts skills would be excellent in the real world, but not so outstanding in the world of martial arts.

The reason he has made such rapid progress in the past three days is because of his previous martial arts skills and foundation. Once he has exhausted those accumulated skills, his current martial arts foundation will not be able to support him to make such rapid progress again.

Next, one can only practice the Heaven-Turning Palm technique slowly, refining it step by step.

Having mastered the Heaven-Turning Palm, one of the few martial arts techniques he currently possesses, he then focused his energy on the Seventy-Two Styles of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique.

Like the Heaven-Turning Palm, Lin Pingzhi's Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is extremely immature and flawed, only at the beginner level.

Xingyiquan also includes weapons, including swordsmanship. Li Mu had practiced the Thirteen Dragon Swords and the Six Harmonies Sword, so he was no stranger to swordsmanship.

Coupled with his own martial arts skills, which were far superior to Lin Pingzhi's, he gained a lot of insights as soon as he learned this sword technique.

I practiced from morning till night for two days, using learning cards to practice and reflect at the same time. My Evil-Repelling Sword Technique gradually went from naive to fluent, from clumsy to proficient.

Li Mu's swordsmanship was inferior to his fist and palm skills, and after two days, he gained less insight into the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Like the Heaven-Turning Palm, if he wanted to advance further, he needed to hone his skills little by little.

After practicing sword and palm techniques, Li Mu practiced Silver Feather Arrow. He had played with bows and arrows before, but they were all recurve bows. Li Mu used the learning card to practice Silver Feather Arrow for two days and made rapid progress.

By the third day, progress began to slow down, and a long period of polishing was needed from then on.

After practicing palm techniques, sword techniques, and archery, Lin Zhennan and his wife still hadn't returned from Guangxi, so Li Mu focused his energy on Zhengyang Gong.

After seven or eight days of adaptation, starting with basic breathing exercises and then moving on to circulating internal energy, Li Mu had become familiar with and mastered the Zheng Yang Gong from the beginning.

Lin Pingzhi was only twelve years old, and his mind was immature and he didn't have much experience. In addition, internal strength and palm techniques and sword techniques are different. Outsiders can see and touch palm techniques and sword techniques, so Lin Zhennan can point out the omissions and errors in time.

Internal energy cultivation is different; it's invisible and intangible to outsiders, who can't provide timely guidance. Lin Pingzhi is still young, so don't expect him to have much understanding of internal energy. It would be good enough if he could just imitate the methods and develop some internal energy himself.

Based on his memory of the secret manual of Zhengyang Gong and Lin Zhennan's explanation, Li Mu also looked through some common books collected by Lin Zhennan. Comparing them with Lin Pingzhi's usual methods of practicing internal energy, he had to admit that Lin Pingzhi's practice was too rough, and some of the practice steps were even wrong.

Fortunately, Zhengyang Gong is an orthodox internal martial art. Although the progress is slow, it is steady and reliable, and it is not easy to go astray or suffer from internal injuries.

Li Mu spent three days reviewing the Zheng Yang Gong, and when he practiced it again, it was incredibly smooth, and his progress in cultivating the Zheng Yang Gong reached a new level.

On the other hand, every time Li Mu enters the world of film and television, he also brings his strong physique with him.

This time was no exception. Having been tempered and refined in so many worlds, his physique had reached the upper limit of a normal human being in the real world.

Although this is the upper limit of the real world, not the upper limit of the martial arts world, after arriving in the martial arts world, all these past accumulations have turned into a solid foundation and potential.

After these days of breathing exercises and mastering the practice of Zheng Yang Gong, his solid foundation and potential have been gradually awakened, and the speed of his internal energy cultivation has increased rapidly.

Simply put, from the real world without internal energy to the martial arts world with internal energy, his solid foundation is like a sponge, and in the next period of time, his internal energy growth will also enter a period of explosive growth.

Li Mu's appetite also increased. He was no longer a novice and knew the principle of "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." Since the family had plenty of money, he immediately had a lot of tonics prescribed to strengthen the body and replenish vital energy. He also found out the century-old ginseng that Lin Zhennan had carefully collected and added a few slices when stewing chicken or duck.

After this process, his internal energy cultivation speed and progress were incredibly fast, making him, in a sense, a martial arts genius.

While everything went smoothly in terms of martial arts, Li Mu also had his troubles. He didn't know many martial arts, and the upper limit of these martial arts was not as high as he had imagined. Even if he mastered them to the highest level, he would at most be a first-class master in the martial arts world.

In addition, martial arts skills need to be exchanged, and apart from Lin Zhennan, he has no one to exchange his family's martial arts skills with.

So, if you want to go further, you'll need to find a major sect to become an apprentice to.

In conjunction with the system task "Make up for regrets", Lin Pingzhi's regrets, apart from his parents and Fuwei Escort Agency, are mostly related to Mount Hua!

Li Mu thought for a while and decided that Mount Hua was also a good choice, especially in terms of swordsmanship. It was unparalleled in the world of Swordsman, and the unique Dugu Nine Swords could not be learned anywhere else except by joining the Mount Hua Sect.

In terms of internal strength, Zixia Divine Skill is the ceiling of internal strength in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. Yue Buqun cannot be considered a top master. It's not that Zixia Divine Skill is bad, but that he didn't practice it well enough.

After thinking it over, the Huashan Sect is indeed a suitable choice.

As for the grudges and affections between Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi, is it inappropriate for Lin Pingzhi to be Yue Buqun's apprentice?

He's not the original Lin Pingzhi, so naturally he doesn't care. Besides, these things definitely won't happen.

Objectively speaking, it wasn't easy for Lao Yue either. If there had been a more peaceful way to achieve the resurgence of the Huashan Sect, he wouldn't have taken that extreme path.

After all, it's just killing chickens; unless you're forced into a corner, how many men would dare to do that?

There are many ways to revive the Huashan Sect, and there are also ways to further improve Yue Buqun's martial arts skills. It depends on Yue Buqun's attitude. If he behaves well, we don't mind helping him out.

Chapter 522 Exorcising Evil and Breakthrough

Time flies. Li Mu has been here for more than half a month. Lin Zhennan and his wife still haven't returned from Guangxi. They only have a few kung fu skills, and they know that the future potential is not great. They are also getting tired of practicing every day, so they want to go out for a walk.

Having been here for so long without leaving the house, Li Mu only realized the imposing presence of the Fuwei Escort Agency when he reached the doorway.

First, there is the vermilion gate of the mansion, with copper nails the size of teacups on the door. Above the gate, there is a plaque with four large gold-lacquered characters: "Fuwei Escort Agency," and below that, two smaller characters: "Head Office."

There were two rows of benches near the entrance, where eight men dressed in tight-fitting clothes sat, each with a straight back and an air of heroism.

Upon seeing Li Mu, the eight men immediately stood up and called out, "Young Master Escort."

Li Mu smiled and nodded, then walked out the door. On either side of the entrance, there were two stone altars, each with a flagpole about two zhang tall, with a green flag fluttering at the top.

The right-hand flag is embroidered with a fierce and powerful lion in yellow silk thread, fluttering in the wind, with a pair of bats embroidered in black silk thread flying above its head. The left-hand flag is embroidered with the four black characters "Fuwei Escort Agency," written in bold and vigorous strokes.

Stepping out of the escort agency, Li Mu randomly chose a direction and began to appreciate the quaint and ancient city before him as he walked along the cobblestone path.

After walking along the streets and alleys for a while, Li Mu suddenly realized that one of the alleys in front of him looked familiar. After a moment of surprise, he realized that it was Xiangyang Alley, where Lin Ping's old house was located!

Remembering the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual hidden inside, Li Mu turned and went inside.

Based on his memory, a two-courtyard house with white walls and black tiles soon came into view. Li Mu did not bring the key, and usually only Lin Zhennan would come once a year during holidays.

Thinking that it was his own courtyard, he didn't need to worry about anything. He took a deep breath, bent his knees slightly, and leaped up, using his hands to push off the wall, thus reaching the top of the wall. After looking around, he jumped down from the wall and landed in the two-courtyard house.

After wandering around, I noticed that although the yard was old, there wasn't much dust, which showed that Lin Zhennan cleaned it every time he came.

Li Mu walked into the inner courtyard and faintly smelled the scent of incense ash. Following the fragrance, Li Mu arrived at the outside of a side room. The door was locked, so Li Mu opened the window next to it and peeked inside. It turned out to be a Buddhist shrine.

So, this is the Buddhist hall where the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is stored.

Li Mu climbed through the window and entered the Buddhist hall. The hall was empty, with an offering table in front of it, on which were placed an incense burner, a wooden fish, a bell and chime, and a stack of Buddhist scriptures.

In the center of the Buddhist hall hangs a traditional Chinese ink painting depicting Bodhidharma meditating facing a wall for nine years. The brushstrokes are simple and rough, yet the painting captures both the form and spirit of the subject.

Seeing that the old master Bodhidharma had his left hand behind his back and his right index finger pointing to the roof, Li Mu quickly realized that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was hidden under a piece of dust on the roof.

He bent his knees slightly, leaped up, and easily climbed onto the roof beam. Reaching out with his arms, he grabbed a soft garment. It fell with a cloud of dust and dirt—it was the cassock inscribed with the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.

Li Mu flipped down from the roof beam and began to examine the object in his hand. This cassock, which recorded the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, was a red outer garment, thin and soft, woven from fine silk. It looked quite strange; who would have thought that someone would use a cassock to record martial arts secrets?

It is likely that when Lin Yuantu was sent by Zen Master Hongye to Mount Hua to investigate the Sunflower Manual being spied on, he had nothing of value. After discussing the matter with Yue Su and Cai Zifeng every day, in order not to forget it and to keep it a secret, he wrote his insights on his cassock, which led to the creation of this Evil-Repelling Sword Manual.
